Problems solved by technology

There exists problems, both product and process problems, with each of the prior art processes described above.
In particular, the brushing process loosely associates its additive with the fibrous structure such that the average lint value for such fibrous structure is extremely high and not readily acceptable by consumers.
In addition, the additives added to prior art fibrous structures have been relatively large in average particle size.

Definitions

[0018]“Additive” as used herein means a material that is present in and / or on a fibrous structure at low levels. For example, an additive is a material that is present in and / or on a fibrous structure at levels less than 50% and / or less than 45% and / or less than 40% and / or less than 30% and / or less than 20% and / or less than 10% and / or less than 5% and / or less than 3% and / or less than 1% and / or less than 0.5% to about 0% by weight of the fibrous structure.

[0019]“Solid additive” as used herein means an additive that is capable of being applied to a surface of a fibrous structure in a solid form. In other words, the solid additive of the present invention can be delivered directly to a surface of a fibrous structure without a liquid phase being present, i.e. without melting the solid additive and without suspending the solid additive in a liquid vehicle or carrier. As such, the solid additive of the present invention does not require a liquid state or a liquid vehicle or ...

Abstract

Fibrous structures comprising an additive, more particularly finished fibrous res comprising a low surface energy solid additive, and / or sanitary tissue products sing such finished fibrous structures, are provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to fibrous structures comprising a low surface energy additive. More particularly, the present invention relates to finished fibrous structures comprising a low surface energy solid additive, and / or sanitary tissue products comprising such finished fibrous structures. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Fibrous structures, especially low density, soft, linty finished fibrous structures and / or sanitary tissue products comprising such finished fibrous structures, for example toilet tissue and / or paper towels and / or facial tissue, comprising additives are well known in the art. [0003] Traditionally, additives have been incorporated into fibrous structures by means of adding the additives to the fibrous slurry prior to forming the fibrous structures. [0004] Other known methods of adding additives to fibrous structures include delivering the additives to the fibrous structures via liquid, especially aqueous, vehicles or carriers....
